My busy boy

Much to my excitement and pleasure, I got to see my little boy roll over for the first time today! It took us all by surprise. The inlaws were here and we were all just talking, watching little GT on his tummy while he lifted his head (he's had great head control from very early on and it's just getting better). Next thing we know, he'd rolled right over! It was so amazing to watch. We put him back on his tummy and he did it one more time, only he rolled the other way. So then we got the video camera out and put him back on his tummy again...but by that time he was so done with the rolling over thing, haha. He was very unhappy so I had to comfort him for a bit and now he's completely passed out on his boppy. I really hope to get it on video tomorrow. But what an awesome day, I love seeing my baby grow and get stronger.

restful night

Unless I am much mistaken, I think we may have finally turned a corner in the sleep department. It's now been 6 weeks and I think GT may finally be ready to sleep more at night instead of all day. Of course, last night could just have been a fluke, but I have hope! He only took one nap yesterday, and when bedtime rolled around he fell asleep quickly in my arms. I put him to bed, sure that he would instantly start fussing again but no! He stayed alseep and didn't wake up for another feeding until 5 hours later. After that feeding I was able to put him right back down, and I got another 4 hours out of him. I am quite happy with all this sleep and don't really know what to do with myself. After a good pilates session with friends, I think all I need to make this morning perfect is a small cup of coffee.

In other updates, GT is now over 9 lbs and is 21 3/4 inches long! He's grown out of nearly all his newborn clothes. I can't believe how big he's gotten. It is slightly sad to think that, someday soon, he won't be much of a 'baby' anymore. They grow up so fast. I'm just going to try to soak up as much of this time as I can.
